The Hill newspaper interviewed 1,000 likely voters and results released Monday show 75 percent of them think the "most appropriate top tax rate for families earning $250,000 or more" is 30 percent or less.
Currently, upper income Americans pay a 35 percent rate, and President Obama and several Democrats in Congress want to raise that rate to nearly 40 percent next year.
According to the poll results, the largest plurality of those surveyed -- 23 percent -- said the rate should be 25 percent. Another 17 percent said the rate should be 20 percent and 21 percent said it should be under 20 percent. Fourteen percent said the rate should be 30 percent and 13 percent said 35 percent. Only 4 percent said the rate should be 40 percent.
As for corporate taxes, 11 percent favored the current corporate tax rate of 35 percent, while 73 percent thought it should be lower. The current rate is 35 percent.
"If you ask people, 'Should families with more than $250,000 pay a higher tax rate?' you would get a lot of yeses on that," Clint Stretch, managing principal of tax policy at Deloitte Tax LLP told The Hill. "And yet ... you've got 75 percent of the answers are suggesting high-income people should have a lower tax rate, and that's an astonishing result."

heres what the poll said exactly:
According to the poll results, the largest plurality of those surveyed -- 23 percent -- said the rate should be 25 percent. Another 17 percent said the rate should be 20 percent and 21 percent said it should be under 20 percent. Fourteen percent said the rate should be 30 percent and 13 percent said 35 percent. Only 4 percent said the rate should be 40 percent.
i wonder how that same percentage would answer when asked if those making over $250,000 a year should pay a higher tax rate than the average middle class family.

Only a complete ignoramus would equate the 1950's with today's world, so I'm not surprised you did.
